This is a Volkswagen Polo as this vehicle has a direct match with the front design, taillights and body shape (Except the roof). I don't see anything that screams Mazda about the vehicle.

Aside from the taillights, the rest of the vehicle shares a higher resemblance to the second-generation Saturn Vue and not a Mitsubishi as the 2010 Outlander has a more rectangular design with the headlights and front grille, especially since the body is 25% more boxy. The Vue's XR trim is the perfect one for this.

Street racing games used to have a lot of SUVs in them, though? Midnight Club 3 springs to mind, for one.


Yes, but the number of SUVs in racing games have partially decreased. Gaming companies usually allow lower class vehicles to adapt more to the racing genre. The Yukon already comes as a traffic vehicle like the Infiniti G35. If you talk about this to EA, it is unlikely they would take it into consideration.

It wouldn't make sense to them to add vehicles that don't fit the street racing genre in my honest opinion. Majority of the SUVs in Need For Speed are barely played by anyone. They also won't allow it to be playable since it already comes as a traffic vehicle.

Yes. Even the traffic vehicles since some of them have Palm City license plates. Aside from this, many playable vehicles were reused from Heat, but there is a lower amount of cars available in Unbound.

I agree, just simply having German origin for a Verano is a bit weird.
IMCDB also has an option to add "Built in: [country name]" and "Made for: [country name]" next to the country origin, which could be useful for cases like this car - I think it would be a good idea to add these features to IGCD.
That would help clear up things a bit, since there are a lot of inconsistencies on the site right now - for example some of the Opel-based Vauxhalls have British, while others have German origin.


Thanks for explaining this. If it was supposed to be an Opel, or something based on it, then it would make sense to list its origin as German, but this is clearly a Buick Verano which is a US-made vehicle, being in a US based game and is sold directly in the US market, so the origin being American is more valid. The design doesn't match the Opel Astra either, so that's another catch for listing it as a German vehicle. Same reason why some sedans are incorrectly listed as hatchbacks on IGCD.

That is pretty much exactly what I said about the Buick, but the Transit is a different case.

The Transit has a history as a European market model dating back over 50 years, whereas it only came to the US market in 2014. Ford of Europe is based in Germany, and most EU-origin Fords are listed as German to reflect that, including most other Transits.

It's worth mentioning that the location of a vehicle's manufacture is not necessarily what the origin on IGCD refers to - instead it's more about the cultural context of what country the vehicle is associated with.


Still would make sense to me to name a vehicle made in a particular location and give it a different origin in another place.

I believe the reason for it being listed as German is because IMCDb views it as a rebadged Opel Astra. I'm not sure if that's an entirely correct assumption though - it does share the same platform as the Astra (as do many other vehicles like the Chevrolet Cruze & Volt), but unlike the Chinese Buick Excelle XT (which is literally an Astra with a Buick badge slapped onto it), the Verano/Excelle GT has it's own unique design.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Delta_platform#Delta_II


But it is still an American model that is differed from the German version. The Ford Transit in ATS is listed as a German model when it isn't.

You heard him. Bruise is always right.


There are only 2 manufacturing plants for the first generation Verano, one located in Michigan USA, and the other in Yantai, a city in China (Where it is branded as an Excelle). The production model in the US was manufactured from 2011-2016, and was the only one sold directly in the American market:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Verano

So this is an American-made vehicle and not a German one, the manufacturing plants GM own in Germany are only associated with Opels.

I wonder why we don't get such models in ATS. I'm not an ETS 2 player, but majority of the AI vehicles in American Truck Simulator are far too old/rare for US roads. The fact that they have a current generation Tesla (I hate this company, only giving out an example) while ATS still uses the oldest Model S speaks out. I don't think that SCS properly knows what traffic in America looks like, but European traffic matches more towards this game. At least add more modern/new traffic vehicles in ATS like a Traverse, Kia Soul, Fusion etc, so people don't have to resort to mods.
